An Afternoon Delight at the Plate-Shape Nature Park : Kawa-kawa, Tuburan, Ligao, Albay


Heaven is a place on earth with the strangers we meet.

It was a rainy morning when my college friend from Polangui had her baby's baptism. On the way to Polangui, my slippers wrecked with the heavy rain. It felt ominous for a bad day. But the rain subsided eventually, it was sunny in the afternoon. We decided to drop by Kawa-kawa Hill before returning to Legazpi. Although, I've been to Kawa-kawa Hill before, coming to this place always fascinates me like a first-timer with the farm changing colors and blooms.

We were lucky to see the blooming flowers of the Sorghum Experimental Plantation at California Village, the farm along the way to Kawa-kawa.


In a couple of hours we stayed at the hill, we joined the last supper, waved our hands in the air for happiness upon the green sights, appreciated the flowers at bloom, and played around like kids!




And so the afternoon ended, the bright day shifted to dusk. It was too perfect sight for my floundering young adult life. We were lucky to have lived and have seen this place in our time.


It was really a delightful afternoon to visit. The nature park was free to visit and do picnic, so we were mindful to respect the place. It was also a place for prayer so as we walk on the way of the cross we made our short but earnest prayers.

Picture credit goes to my friend Jeff, the only person who have a DSLR that day. =)

An Easter in Dingalan Mountains

Jump to Itinerary and Expenses   The Bus Ride from Manila to Cabanatuan      At almost noon, we arrived at Cabanatuan after 3 hours of travel from Manila. At first, I was hesitant to take the non-AC bus bound for Dingalan, opting and hoping we could take the van to avoid the scorching heat. Quickly, we were time pressured to jump at the next available public vehicle (t his ride appealed like it would tarry no man ). And so, we were en route to Dingalan on an open-windows, non-aircon bus at the peak of the afternoon heat. But as the wheels ran, I could only think of my anticipation as we got closer to our next destination.        Next to us, an old lady accompanying a big group of fellow passengers asked the bus conductor for a fare discount. She claimed that her son, whose name she mentioned twice though I didn't bother to catch, works for the bus company. The conductor with his subtle anxious look explained in detail how or where the fare will b...

Misnomer no more, pronouncing "Laguna de Bay" the right way!

Few years ago, we went to Paete/Pagsanjan by commuting from Cainta via mostly R-5/Manila East Rd. On our return home, we commuted via mostly Manila South Rd/AH26. In short, we made a 360 Laguna de Bay trip. At Tatlung Kruz, overlooking Paete Town and Laguna de Bay  After visiting Bulusan lake, I started to categorize my lake travels and wondered what was the largest lake in the Philippines. I found Laguna de Bay– unconsciously included a few times in my past itineraries. I wondered why a lake was called "Laguna de Bay", pronouncing "Bay" as in the inlet of the sea that's smaller than a gulf. Laguna de Bay means "Lagoon of the town of Bay". The town Bay is pronounced Bä'ï or “Bae”, the latter is also the alternative name of the town. As I write this blog, I still say "bay" out of habit. Now, I must misnomer no more if I pass by Laguna de Bay, by the by!
